When you type words using the illume keyboard, often you dont see what you have typed so far.
Especially, when there is no similar word in the match list (upper middle).
You can check the chars, using the top-left button, and wait for the list to appear (it is
always the first item at the top), but it is time consuming process, especially, when you
type a lot.

The goal of this modification, is to always display at the bottom (dead area) the
already typed characters as-is. It would be very useful. I (Khiraly) have already
done the theme part (illume.edc), there is "only" the C source part left.
But Im stuck, please help (see sections below).

Send the keystroke directly to the application.
Show the dictionary lookup at the correct place.
If a word from the dictionary is chosen, send as many backspaces as keystrokes since the last space and insert this word.
(Preferable the keyboard layout would include a space key)

Currently each dicitonary pollutes the same local file,
which is memory mapped in illume keyboard.
Using multiple language concurrently degrades the dictionary accuracy
(thats it, it propose german words in english texts and vice-versa)

In my opinion on an touchscreen the keyboard should be as big as possible.
It would be nice if one implemented a button to easily extend the keyboard to e.g. 80% of (screen - illume topbar)
and prevent applications from resizing.
Making the keyboard a transparent overlay could help if it does not use too much performance
